VTY lines and clearing them

[b.withrow]

Wondering if anyone has ever had a problem clearing vty lines. I've done it a million times, with success. But now I have a few devices that have some "hung" sessions. I try to clear them, the command is accepted, but the connection is still there. Any ideas? Also, i've read the definitions of "exec timeout" and "session timeout" but wondering what everyone else uses. I've always used EXEC.

Can i know on which devices your facing this problem & what command you tried issuing on that device?

the usual one is "clear line vty "

you have issued clear line vty 1, but there is not line vty 1 in that, the avialable vty are 2,3,4,5,6 & 8. *6 indicates that you current session.

hope this helps.

rate this post if satisfied.

Actually that's incorrect the number "following" the VTY is the line.

Hi ,

What is the image on your router ?

Try to install new IOS version and check the problem.

Thanks,
